My grandfather John O'Connor, who was a master mason, did all the stonework for the station I have been told. Very interesting subject matter. On a technical issue I found the music too loud when people were speaking. Perhaps you could reduce the background sound when cutting in the audio.

This is a fascinating documentary which has cleverly investigated the less well known history of the Dingle Train. It questions the motives behind what was ultimately a doomed enterprise from the beginning and the sometimes disastrous effects it had on local communities, while at the same time celebrating the positive aspects of the train. A definite must see for anyone who may think they have no interest in local Kerry history; you will be hooked immediately.
Coming soon to Dingle.

Murt, you should contact Cornelius Kelly 48 Bright road Belmont Massachusetts USA
He is the main reason that the train steamed again in 1992. If you are going to do another documentary on T&D#5 he is the man to talk to. He purchased and sent the engine back to Tralee. That is FACT no matter what the books and papers said. I was going to do a video of his story and call it reborn steam maybe you can do it as you have a nack for it. The story starts,He was born in Blennerville station....

I would love to see this! Is there any way one in the USA can view it? Irish narrow gauge railways are so very appealing, every one!! :)
